Thank God for Jennie and Chris! My mom’s dementia has worsened exponentially so she had to move in with us. Consequently we were forced to sell her home that was really falling into disrepair! The Irwins rolled up their sleeves and got to work! Everything from the estate sale, handyman work, cleaning, etc. was set up seamlessly! I am so thankful to them for making this virtually stress free! Their professionalism, dedication and hard work had the house sold in days!! And in this present housing market that is no easy task!! I can’t thank you enough Jennie and Chris!

by Adam DI had my property listed for sale by owner for two months with no results. Then I decided to work with Chris and Jennie Irwin - and I'm so glad I did!

I highly recommend working with them if you want real results!

by Mary D.Chris and Jennie Irwin were the best team I have ever worked with. We hired them sale our home. They did a photo session along with a video featuring our house. They held two open houses and got a few offers within the first few days of the listing. They negotiated a price that was more than the listing price. They had our house sold within a week. From the beginning to the end of the sale they were always informative. They keeped us updated on all timelines and any setbacks. They were extremely professional and always had a positive attitude. They were always available and always responded in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.
by E. RoblesWorking with Jennie and Chris was such a blessing.

They treated her with the utmost respect and compassion, while also guiding us every step of the way with incredible care and professionalism.

by Kayla ReiseckChris and Jennie Irwin of Modesto are knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. Additionally, they handled my elderly mother with compassion and kindness. They helped us prepare her home for sale including providing recommendations for the additional service provider as we needed. I would not ever hesitate in using them in the future for real estate needs or recommending them to others.
by Crissy FlakeChris and Jennie Irwin are the gold standard when it comes to customer service. They’re not just real estate agents, they are an experience. They genuinely care about their clients and go above and beyond in ways most people wouldn’t even think of. Need proof? They once sold a castle! YES a real castle and showed up dressed as a knight in shiny armor and princess. But they didn’t stop there. They even arranged a horse and carriage to bring the buying family to their new home. Who does that?! Only people who love what they do and care deeply about creating unforgettable moments for the families they serve. Chris and Jenny aren’t just great at their career they’re passionate, professional, and full of heart. They’re not just friends or family to us, they represent what the home-buying experience should feel like: exciting, smooth, and full of care. Whether it’s your first home, next home, or forever home, I highly recommend working with Chris & Jennie. They don’t just sell houses—they help turn dreams into reality. Thank you both for being the absolute best in the business! 10/10 Highly Recommended
by Leo & Janeice SuarezChris and Jennie were absolute professionals. We were moving my wife's parents from Los Banos to Modesto to be closer to us. They listed their house in Los Banos and were able to get a full price offer within days of listing. At the same time, they were busy trying to find the perfect home for a couple a very picky seniors (our parents). They were able to find a perfect house here in Modesto and our parents absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend them for buying or selling a home in all areas surrounding Modesto. Thanks Chris and Jennie!!
by Ken I.Chris and Jennie Irwin did an excellent job of selling our 100 year old father’s ranchette. They helped us prep the house for showings, put together an impressively enticing presentation and information packet for the property and explained all the legalities clearly along the way. With their very beautifully done open house presentations, advertising and private showings, Chris and Jennie got us more than our asking price! I would wholeheartedly recommend working with the Irwins if you want an honest, hard working and very professional team on your side. They made the entire selling process seem easy and totally painless. So thank you, Jennie and Chris. We really appreciate the dedication and care you gave us.
by Laura YoungSold a Single Family home in 2026 in Spanos park east, Stockton, CA. Chris and Jennie Irwin were the best team I have ever worked with. We hired them sale our home. They did a photo session along with a video featuring our house. They held two open houses and got a few offers within the first few days of the listing. They negotiated a price that was more than the listing price. They had our house sold within a week. From the beginning to the end of the sale they were always informative. They keeped us updated on all timelines and any setbacks. They were extremely professional and always had a positive attitude. They were always available and always responded in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.
by Roblesgirl68Chris and Jennie made the buying and selling process as easy and fun as it could get. Chris provided great advice getting our house ready, a beautiful listing, and a competitive asking price. We received several offers within the first week. This is where Jennie stepped in and really shines. She was able to coordinate everything to get us above asking. While she was doing all the behind the scenes work Chris was out helping us find our home. We started out with a few things we needed and he helped us figure out what we liked and what we didn't. Giving great advice when needed and making us feel supported and encouraged. Taking us to several listings, helping us figure out a competitive offer based on what we could afford. Jennie again coordinated everything needed for the purchase. She worked flawlessly with our lender, escrow, title company, other realtors, and most importantly...us. They kept us up to date on everything going on, explained everything we didn't understand, and calmed my nerves from start to finish. We ended up with a home we absolutely love because of this hard working team. I will recommend them to anybody who is wanting to buy or sell!

The 7-Step Central Valley Home Selling Process
A clear strategy from initial preparation through marketing, negotiation, escrow, and closing.
01–02 Strategy & Preparation
01. Strategic Plan
We evaluate market conditions, likely buyers, pricing, timing, preparation needs, and the marketing plan for your property.
02. Preparation
We coordinate preparation, inspections, disclosures, photography, video, and presentation for a strong launch.
03–04 Marketing & Showings
03. Marketing
We launch your listing, digital advertising, direct outreach, signage, professional media, agent promotion, and open-house strategy.
04. Showings
We manage showing access, presentation guidance, buyer feedback, agent activity, and adjustments based on market response.
05–07 Offers, Escrow & Closing
05. Offers
We compare price, financing, contingencies, credits, timelines, and buyer qualifications before negotiating the strongest overall terms.
06. Escrow & Pending
We monitor deposits, inspections, appraisal, title, financing, repair negotiations, contingency deadlines, and transaction communication.
07. Closing
We confirm contract requirements, coordinate signing and possession, monitor funding, and communicate with escrow through closing and the authorized disbursement of proceeds.
Central Valley Home Pricing & Net-Proceeds Strategy
We analyze comparable sales, active competition, neighborhood trends, and buyer demand to position your home competitively. The goal is not simply an attractive asking price, but stronger offers and favorable net proceeds.
Pricing at Market Value
Comparable sales, active competition, neighborhood trends, buyer demand, and property-specific details inform a launch price designed to improve visibility and encourage serious early interest.
The Risk of Overpricing
An inflated launch price can reduce showings, extend market time, weaken buyer perception, and force price reductions after the strongest exposure window has passed.
Focusing on Net Proceeds
We evaluate price alongside credits, repairs, contingencies, financing, timelines, and estimated selling costs so you can compare what each offer may actually leave you at closing.
Preparation Support & Flexible Selling Options
From preparing for a full-market listing to considering a cash offer, we help you compare your options based on timing, convenience, and net proceeds.
Pre-Listing Preparation & Vendor Coordination
We help prioritize work likely to improve presentation and buyer confidence, then connect you with resources your plan may require, including staging, contractors, landscaping, junk removal, and estate-sale professionals.
Full-Market Listing Strategy
For sellers focused on maximizing market exposure and creating competition, we build a pricing, preparation, presentation, advertising, showing, and negotiation strategy around the property.
Instant Cash Offer Option
When speed, certainty, or convenience is the priority, eligible sellers may explore an instant cash offer and compare its timing, terms, and estimated net proceeds with a traditional full-market sale.
Elevated Exposure, Custom Built for Your Home
Your home deserves a marketing plan tailored to its features, price point, and likely buyers.

The timeline depends on pricing, condition, location, buyer demand, financing, and contract terms. We use current neighborhood data to set expectations and coordinate preparation, marketing, negotiations, and escrow milestones around your move.
